Kristin, I got a book made of AWESOME that ties in classical poetry and literary devices to complementary hip-hop songs. I am so jazzed (!) about this unit.
Oooo! Tell me more!
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yuck, erika! They say that having it as a baby tends to immunize you from it but it can reoccur. Like chickenpox and shingles.

It's "Hip-hop Poetry And the Classics" by Allan Sitomer and Michael Cirelli. For example, the Imagery exercises compares Langston Hughes' Harlem: A Dream Deferred to Notorious B.I.G.'s Juicy, Dylan Thomas' Do Not Go Gentle... with Tupac's Me Against the World...
We got Tennyson and Mos Def, Rakim and Brooks, alliteration, onomotopoeia, symbolism, Eminem...it's fucking great,

Ann, that's a ferret.
Give it to Ple, she can porn anything.
Particularly ancient Republicans. It's a "thing" with her.
Kissinger was Secretary of State for Ford's entire time in office, if that helps.

Yeah, I am way excited. It's got WORKSHEETS. IDEAS! Hip-hop lingo and lit term comp/contrast!
I also want to work in some reggaeton and maybe some more Latino hip-hop artists; I'll have to have some of my kids burn me a couple of mixes to parse.

Ooo, I think I want that book. I mean, I give the nod to Hughes and Thomas over B.I.G. and Tupac, but still, the hip-hop is definitely the camel nose under the tent flap.
I am just so glad that Zito didn't go to the Yankees. And that he went to the National League.
Artful painting or wall-ful painting, Raq?
Neither, really, but I guess art-ful. Robert got "The Fury of Dracula" boardgame for Christmas, which comes with a tiny Dracula, Van Helsing, Joanthan and Mina Harker, and Lord Gotterdamerung or whatever dude's name is. So I'm painting them.
It's also already been re-named "The Furries of Dracula."

What is even happening?
Um. I have to take a present to my neighbor and visit a bit. I'm being resisitant to this whole idea. Can I nap, instead?
Wanna drive the fire engine?
